E45- “What’s up, boludo?” Argentine Gestures You Need to Know

In this episode, we dive into the world of Argentine gestures—the hand movements, facial expressions, and body language we use nonstop (often without realizing it) and that can say more than words ever could. From everyday “what’s up?” energy to the classic gestures for “no idea,” “seriously?”, or “that’s the truth,” you’ll learn how Argentines really communicate beyond vocabulary and grammar. We’ll also explore how many of these iconic gestures made their way to Argentina on ships from Southern Italy. The episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
